Hey Friends! Friday is already back! This week flew by! Bowen’s baseball team kicks off their last tournament of the season today. We also have family in town who traveled for their own baseball tournament. Needless to say, it’s our last bit of baseball before a break and we’re gonna be getting a lot in over the next few days. We also have a special guy in our life who turned 70 this week so celebrations will be had! Gonna be a fun weekend! Before I’m off to get to the ball fields, I have some FAVORITES to share with you.

Yesterday I had so much work to get finished so I pulled out this Slip and Slide I’d ordered earlier this summer. The kids put it in the backyard near the pool and spent all afternoon as I worked hopping from one to the other. BEST KIND OF DAY-a FAVORITE for this work-from-home-mom!

Let’s talk my FAVORITE summer show…
Big Brother 2022 aired on Wednesday and I’m HERE FOR IT! There’s just something about watching on summer nights…it finally feels like summer! New challenges, new houseguests, and new guests on the block are all going down on Sunday! Since I’ve only watched one episode I can’t even tell you who my FAVORITE is quite yet, but please know I’ll be watching and if you ever wanna chat BB, you know where to go. 😉

If you follow along on Instagram {you can find me here}, then you might have seen where I asked for dinner recommendations. After eating months of cold foods, we’re OVER it. Lunch meat, chicken salad, easy snacky foods, and more have been making up most of our menu. And we need a little break. On the other side, we’ve also eaten out so much that we don’t want anymore take out. We’re to a place where we’d like food prepared at home, but we’re so limited. I don’t really have a great space to even have my slow cooker plugged in so there’s not a space where I feel comfortable shredding up a huge pot roast. Know what I mean? All that to say, I asked for super simple slow cooker meal ideas and you guys sent some great ones….
*Chicken Tacos-chicken breasts, taco seasoning, and salsa
*BBQ Chicken-chicken breasts, BBQ sauce, and Coca-Cola
*Salisbury Steak {frozen beef patties}, french onion soup or brown gravy mix with potatoes.
*Chicken and Dumplings
*Meatballs-frozen meatballs and spaghetti sauce
*Beef Stew
*Chicken, green beans, diced potatoes, stick of butter and Italian dressing
*Poppy Seed Chicken-chicken, cream of chicken, sour cream, chicken broth, poppy seeds, butter, and crackers
This week we had chicken tacos and a pasta dish I threw together. I added turkey sausage I’d sliced, whole wheat noodles {that hadn’t been cooked yet}, a bag of frozen broccoli, cream of mushroom soup, and some milk. I cooked it on high for about two hours. Then stirred it really good and added a bit of cheese. It was delish! Up on the menu next is the salisbury steak!
Thanks again for your recs! Some of these I make when I have a full kitchen, but I just have to be a little creative. Your ideas really helped! Your help is always a FAVORITE!

Short and sweet today! I’m off now to catch some baseball! Have the very best weekend! See you back on Wednesday!
